OCALA - A 46-year-old man accused of inappropriately touching a 15-year-old girl turned himself in to authorities Monday and was charged with lewd and lascivious molestation.

The girl told a Marion County Sheriff's Office deputy that last summer a man had touched her private area on top of her clothing, then apologized.

The incident also was reported to the Department of Children and Families.

The man was identified as Hank Williams.

Detective Clint Smith told Deputy Vincent Redding on Monday that Williams was going to surrender at a location on U.S. 27. The deputy went there and took Williams into custody. While searching Williams' vehicle, the deputy found a large amount of ammunition, two guns, a disposable camera, a cellphone, a knife, suicide notes and a pornographic magazine opened to a page advertising teenage breasts.
